Normally I don't answer the phone on the pit wall. But it was vibrating in my pocket, so after awhile I said, OK, let's see who it is, maybe it's good advice to win the race,

Imagine a bunch of vibrating elements like in a pager or cell phone.

They knew we were coming in the pits. It wasn't like I came from the wall down into the pit lane. There was no way they would have beaten us tonight. We had a better car.

As I was going to the podium, I told Michael I could not remember the way because it has been so long since the last victory. The result was very encouraging for the future and a huge boost.

This was a chaotic and confusing race. We hoped to exploit the unusual weather conditions but this year, it seems that even the luck that can be a fundamental part of motor racing will not come our way. Maybe we have had too much of it in the past few years, but I hope we can now get back in credit on this score as quickly as possible. At the start of the race, Michael was a front runner, while Rubens who had started from further back, was struggling a bit. When the Safety Car came, out we tried to gamble on dry tyres on Michael's car, but very quickly, he realised the car was impossible to drive in these conditions. So another stop was needed to go back to rain tyres, but Michael's race lasted just one more lap, when he was hit by Sato in the braking area for La Source. This meant all our hopes rested with Rubens, who had moved into the points by this stage. His race was going normally, but when his rain tyres began to go off significantly, he had to pit again to fit dry ones with just a few laps remaining. The time he lost doing this and in getting the dry tyres up to temperature cost him fourth place.

We are very disappointed for our fans and our staff who were here in the grandstand. The main problem afflicting us is a lack of [tire] grip and all we can do is continue to work with our partners at Bridgestone to fix it.
